The highest rainfall in the region was 3.74" at Stansbury Park which is near the southern end of Great Salt Lake about halfway from downtown SLC to Tooele. At the Nevada border, 100 miles west, rainfalls were only about 0.05" -- also much less rain fell in northern portions of the Wasatch Front around Tremonton (0.4") ... so this rainfall event was centered over the SLC to Lehi portion of the region between Great Salt Lake and Lake Utah. News reports show snowfall pictures at ski resorts above 7,000 feet.
